Description: Mario Cravo Neto (Salvador, BA, 1947 - 2009) is considered one of the most representative Brazilian photographers. The exhibition includes 250 unpublished photographs taken between 1969 /1970 period when the artist lived in New York, he dedicated hImself to the study of sculpture and painting. In them we can see the photographer looking for unusual angles, made in the apartments where he lived on the streets, at stations and inside subway cars. Many of them were made from windows, seeking a series of discoveries, nothing mental, with plans and sections performed at random, which means that the set becomes even more provocative in describing movements transiting between an inner world and another outside. Also displayed 45 images in black and white icons on the artist's work , which originally formed part of the series The Neutral Fund and Its Characters conducted between 1980 to 1999 and were the starting point for the book the Eternal Now. According to Diogenes Moura, curator of the show, "Butterflies and Zebras is not just an exhibition, a book. It is an experiment on time, on target, about love, about life, about death and about how they can go to the last well beyond."
